Bad acting

Am I the only one who finds that this actor Shawn Ashmore [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0039162/?ref_=tt_cl_t2] totally wrong choice for this show?

Maybe this is just me, but he just doesn't at all look like someone who is physically tough and could intimidate others. So when he's beating the *beep* out of like 4 people at the same time I'm can't take it seriously.

Anyway, I quit watching this show after season 1, this show is so naive. Even the cartoon "Death Note" has a more mature and twisted story, there's was nothing going on in this show. Ryan always killing the bad quys and saving the day got a little boring to watch...

There's a lot of bad acting here. All the law enforcement character actors are distractingly terrible. Shawn Ashmore is exceptionally bad and has no gravitas. Plus, everybody is so skinny it's almost painful to watch.

The acting wasn't that bad, The writing was the problem.
